Finally, email that doesn't feel like homework
Running a boutique hotel, email is a huge part of our business but it has never brought me joy. My old platform made everything feel like pulling teeth, I'd spend forever on one simple promotion and still get terrible results. I thought about hiring an agency, but they cost a fortune. A friend recommended I try AlpacaRelay and I'm so glad they did.
Now I just tell the chat what I'm running and it writes it. Last week I needed a Mother's Day email, typed 'spa packages for moms, 20% off' and got back something that sounded like me but better. The chat's right there in the editor so when I wasn't sure about the subject line, I just asked for alternatives. Got three options, picked one, sent it out.
That email went to our list of loyalty guests and got 7% clicks. Used to get 2%. The chat even helped me fix the layout when something looked weird on mobile.
Only real issue is I can't do this from my phone when I'm away from the desk. Otherwise it's made email feel like something I can actually do instead of dreading it.
